I thought for sure we would start seeing lower totals but GFS and ICON still showing 30-40 inches plus Should start getting into NAM territory today

lol only mention about tonight by the NWS is maybe an inch in the foothills. Seems like they’re fully buying into the euro. Might be worth atleast mentioning some snow down to 500’ in some places on their end? I know the euro is pretty d*mn good and most of these snow maps are overdoing it but some places with just a little elevation could get something.

7 hours and no power still.

Idk why the ridge has been lacking staying power for this part of the country. It’s not like we have some raging -EPO or any excessive amount of high latitude blocking either, so not sure what the deal is with this recurring trough out east and ridges getting squashed. Long range does look mild overall, but I feel like it should be even warmer than what’s currently being modeled. Is this related to some lingering SSW effect? Just feels off to have this +TNH-like pattern ongoing still.

Hope the snowpack melts quickly and doesn’t end up having much of an impact on the late week warm-up. Still think the majority of the big snow ends up north of the border, but really won’t know for sure until Sat. You’d think with such a dynamic system that there may be some further north trends, but this winter/early spring has been throwing lots of weird surprises/curveballs for some reason, so who knows.
